Beauty: The Glamour Beauty Edit Box

I saw this pop up on a few blogs and thought it was about time I treated myself to some new beauty products. I used to be subscribed to Glossybox but as beauty boxes are pretty hit and miss I didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth.
This time I was extremely satisfied that the £16.95 I'd paid for this was completely worth with a couple of products I was going to purchase myself anyway.

Hawaiian Tropic Satin Protection Ultra Radiance Sun Lotion SPF 30, 100ml: The current weather means this will come in very handy as I burn far too easily. I've already used this since receiving the product and I love the fact it doesn't smell of sun cream! Also it's 100ml meaning it's a perfect size for cabin bags if I was actually going on holiday (can someone take me on holiday please?).

Magnifibres Brush-on False Lashes: I'm really intrigued by this as I'm really not a fan of false lashes but I'm always on the look out for volumising and lengthening mascaras. You basically apply it in between coats of your mascara and the fibres stick to your lashes to make them more volumised. I'll let you know how I get on with this.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil: This was possibly the product I was most disappointed with as I've had it in previous beauty boxes and not really liked it then. Maybe I'll give this another go to see if my skin will get on with it this time.

Bourjois Cream Blush in 01 Nude Velvet: This was one of the products I was actually planning on buying before I saw it was in the box. The colour is right up my street and I'm excited to delve into the cream blush phenomenon.

Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquer in Petal Pink: Who knew Crabtree & Evelyn made nail polishes? I didn't but I always love to receive nail polishes to add to my ridiculous collection. I don't actually own a shade like this and I was happy to get this one over the red that was in other boxes as I have so many reds!

Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick in Cherub: I was really excited about this as it's my first Illamasqua product. This is a lovely neutral colour meaning I'll be able to wear it regularly. So far so good as it's really moisturising and a lovely colour.

Velvotan Tanning Mitt: All tanning mitts are the same in my opinion but they are always a welcome addition as they are vital when applying any kind of fake tan.

Toni & Guy Glamour Volume Plumping Whip, 90ml: First up this product, like other Toni & Guy products smells incredible! I'm currently using the Toni & Guy Cleanse shampoo which I really love so I'm excited to see how this works. This originally costs £7.19 so I'd be unlikely to buy it myself which is why I'm happy to have received this in the box.

I think one of my favourite things about the Latest in Beauty boxes although this is my first one, is that everyone gets the same products although the colours may vary there's no upset over one person receiving the product you really wanted. I now really want to order more beauty boxes as I love the surprise of opening a box of products you wouldn't really buy yourself. The Glamour Beauty Edit can be ordered here.
